About us:
nd
Mizoram University was established on 2 July 2001
as a Central University (accredited by NAAC as “A
Grade”). The objectives of the University is "to disseminate
and advance knowledge by providing instructional and
research facilities, to make provisions for integrated courses
in humanities, natural and physical & social sciences,
forestry and other allied disciplines in the educational
programmes of the University; to take appropriate measures
for promoting innovations in teaching-disciplinary studies
and research; to educate and train man-power in the
development of the state of Mizoram; and to pay special
attention to the improvement of the social and economic
conditions and welfare of the people of the State, their
intellectual, academic and cultural development".
The Department of Biotechnology was established in
the year 2007. The department offers a two year M. Sc.,
Degree Course in Biotechnology. Doctoral programme
leading to Ph.D. is also being offered at the department. The
department is undertaking research projects and has
attracted funds from various agencies such as DBT, DST,
CSIR and UGC. The State Biotech Hub Facility was
established by the DBT, New Delhi in the year 2011 and has
state of art facility for research and teaching. The significant
contribution of the State Biotech Hub, Mizoram University is
especially through funding and providing cutting edge
equipments for research which has helped diverse research
projects on areas like microbial, plant, animal and human.
Free access is provided to any researcher or student form
within the state of Mizoram and neighbouring states for
carrying out their research efficiently.
